The Easy Golf Swing

An easy golf swing, or to put it another way, a simple way to swing the golf club, is surely the goal of the struggling handicap golfer. When you are new to the game of golf, and have not been playing the game for long, you often find golfers seeking to find an easy golf swing. So what exactly is this easy golf swing system that will enable you to begin playing consistent golf shots?

Well, easy implies straightforward, uncomplicated, so the easy golf swing is just that. There are not lots of rules to learn for each stage of the golf swing. Rather it needs to be smooth and flowing. Unhurried and reliable. This golf swing will not let you down when you are playing under pressure.

Once you learn to swing the club this way, some golfers try to fine tune their golf swing, and in doing so it is invariably their ability to hit consistent golf shots which suffers as a result. And you would be surprised, in some instances, how long it takes to regain that valuable asset called consistency.

There have been examples of many famous golfers over the years, who have tweaked their golf swings, and have subsequently struggled to recapture their form on the golf course afterwards.

What are the characteristics of the the easy golf swing?

The two most important features  are that it is both simple and smooth. In short, it must flow. The emphasis is on swing tempo rather than thinking about what is actually happening as you swing the golf club. The best way to appreciate how this feels in reality, is to swing a rope with a weight attached to the end. You can only swing the rope the right way else you will not be able to swing it smoothly, which is the goal of this exercise.

When you have learned to swing the rope smoothly, you can then swing the golf club the same way, and you have the foundation of an easy golf swing.
